"عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّديقُ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَتَمَثَّل هَذَا الْبَيْتَ:

لا تَزالُ تَنْعَى حَبِيبًا حتَّى تَكونَهْ ... وَقَدْ يَرْجُو الفَتَى الرَّجَاءَ يَمُوتُ دُونَهْ".

ابن سعد، [ش] ابن أبى شيبة [حم] أحمد في الزهد، وابن أبى الدنيا في ذكر الموت

[Machine] That Abu Bakr used to embody this house, still mourns a dead person until he becomes it and the young man hopes that he dies before him.

الزهد لأحمد:٥٩١ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أبِي حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَنْبَأَنَا ثَابِتٌ

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَانَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ لَا تَزَالُ تَنْعَى مَيِّتًا حَتَّى تَكُونَهُ وَقَدْ يَرْجُو الْفَتَى الرَّجَا يَمُوتُ دُونَهُ
